Features: In the past three to four decades, with the widespread use of inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and high-quality seeds in agricultural production activities, the total output of agricultural production has significantly increased. However, accompanied by the excessive use of agricultural inputs and improper agricultural production practices, issues such as soil compaction, declining fertility, and excessive residues of pesticides, veterinary drugs, and heavy metals in agricultural products have become increasingly severe in terms of food safety and environmental protection. In 1991, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) held the "Meeting of Ministers Responsible for Agriculture and Rural Development," where the famous "Bos-ton Declaration" was issued, proposing the concept of "Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development (SARD)," which was widely supported by member states of the United Nations. To facilitate a clear and accurate understanding of the National Standard for Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) and related certification requirements, and to promote the popularization and implementation of the National Standard for GAP, the National Standardization Administration of China and the National Administration for Certification and Accreditation organized the compilation of the "Implementation Guide for Good Agricultural Practice (Part I)." This book is divided into three parts: Part one mainly introduces the development of GAP both domestically and internationally; the second part provides an interpretation of the series of National Standards for Good Agricultural Practice; the third part introduces the "Implementation Rules for the Certification of Good Agricultural Practice (Trial)" and related basic knowledge of certification and accreditation.
